Don't they usually spread out releases and announcements? FROM announcing a huge game only a few months after Sekiro seems odd. DaS3 was announced like 4 months after Bloodborne, but BB was in co-development by Japan Studio.
Anyways, open world is against everything FROM has done since Demon Souls. I can't see open world being able to keep the level design they have had so far, and likely the combat system will feel like a joke with way more open environments allowing you to run more.
Nicholas Baker
None of this makes any fucking sense
Jose Phillips
Sounds fucking awful
Elijah Perez
>sound like completely bullshit >people think its real
I don't like it very much. A tight focus is something Souls games benefit a lot from. Look at Dark Souls 1. The entire game basically takes place around a single city complex, that's what Lordran is, and even then we never even explore it fully, but it already feels like a grand, complex place. There's nothing to be gained by kicking up the scale and saying "Alright, how about we give you a whole continent to travel through aimlessly". How do you structure area progression? How do you structure boss challenge? How do you structure pacing? Ultimately, what would the game gain by being an open-world experience of such scale? Especially considering it already basically means you're giving up on tight level design and area inteconnectivity completely by doing that.
Christian Cooper
its fake. George has admitted he writes so slow, this would be impossible
Charles Myers
>fully open world >George RR Martin is one of the lead writers Sounds like shit normalfags come up with.because they can't think beyond current trends.

Tell me what you don't like about Shadow of the Colossus so we can get it out of the way already.

John Sanchez
The open world is literally nothing and you could have just started bosses from the statues. No one has ever said "boy i sure loved riding the horse for 10 min to get to the next boss"

What are the supposed sources for this?

What was Gwyn's tax policy?
Noah Rogers
I usually enjoy this dude. What's wrong with him?
Austin Sanders
I disagree but we don't have to get into it. Thank you for your answer user.
Spawn wave is cool but liam robertson is a fucking liar attentionwhore so i dont believe it.
Xavier White
really? sounds rather banal to me.
Jayden Foster
Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Miyazaki, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Dark Souls had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man who linked the fire, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Miyazaki can say that Gwyn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Miyazaki doesn’t ask the question: What was Gwyn's tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these darkwraiths? By the end of the war, the Four Kings are gone but all of the darkwraiths aren’t gone – they’re in the Abyss. Did Gwyn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby darkwraiths, in their little darkwraith cradles?
Didn't George RR Martin give up a chance to cameo in game of thrones because he still wants to finish writing winds of winter? I don't really see him then turning around and signing on to write a whole fucking video game
>No one has ever said "boy i sure loved riding the horse for 10 min to get to the next boss" Why are zoomers this retarded?
Colton Lopez
These dudes will really do anything for clicks huh. Christ.

Well, what do we have here? You look like a new applicant. Let me guess. Filing your income tax, right? Well there's no salvation here. You'd have done better to rot in the unemployment line.

Are you retarded?

Ryder Harris
You guys are forgetting something obvious. If he had to write this game he would have to put off writing the next book and fuck with the fans even more.
He's doing it.
Anthony Thompson
yeah let's trust a subgenre of horror that very few people have been able to do well to a fat lazy fuck who can't even write passable medieval fantasy fiction
George is more than happy to write things, as long as they aren't finishing GoT
Bentley Ramirez
so dark souls 2 remastered / remake? with a proper lighting engine and graphics?
Josiah Collins
From Software works on 3+ games at a time dude, there's a reason their games reuse so many assets and mechanics.
Aiden Reyes
writing your own story is completely different, and mostly sitting around thinking about how minute details in the book could/should/have to work, and drafting entire scenario that you scrap completely most of the time until you come up with one you are actually confident in, which then usually changes fundamentally when you prop on other threads, too.
writing FOR someone, especially a game, is easier, its comparable to ghostwriting, they come up with the broad strokes and progression first, you flesh them out with your vernacular and sense of story telling.
but yeah, its probably not true either way.
Parker Sanchez
This, the world is empty and boring as fuck. Minecraft's world is better than SotC, the only reason you'd consider that "open world" kino is because you have mental issues.
Dominic Parker
Thats what hapened with dark souls 3 after bloodborne release and with bloodborne itself after dark souls 2 release
Ds 2 released march 2014 bb announced e3 2014 Bb released march 2015 ds 3 announced e3/tgs 2015
Ryder Bailey
By the lords… Your bank statements… Hmm… Your credit score is really slipping.
You there, hunter. Didn't you pay your taxes? Restored and reinhabited, old Yharnam is home only to upstanding citizens. They have no interest in those above. Turn back, or the hunter, will face the IRS.
Yep, it's not hard to understand. Writing snippets of lore here and there, character dialogue, etc. is far easier than writing a complex story with multiple character lines and a massive converging story. There's zero chance of this rumour being true though, a Japanese studio and one that has no experience with proper open world games, graphics that look pretty shitty and a story that is garbage even when they focus on the story (Sekiro)? I don't see it.
Jordan Cook
These days you can say any stupid shit on the internet with "rumor" in there somewhere and retards will eat it up
Friendly reminder that Tolkien's The Fall of Gondolin was released August last year. >tfw a dead guy writes faster than GRRM
Cooper Jenkins
Unironically based. Bravo martin and miyazaki
Christian Murphy
Last we heard, they had Sekiro, that VR game and one unannounced game. So they could announce a new game, but it might be BB2 to leverage Sony's money and workforce or something with Bamco again. I don't know what I'd like to see them do, BB2 doesn't interest me much despite loving the first game. It would likely go down the route of DaS3 to DaS1 where its better in every way but doesn't feel as enjoyable/good because its playing it super safe and is more of the same.
Carson Martin
>people will believe this
Charles Williams
I haven't keked out loud like this in a long time Thanks faggot
Stop wasting your time on Yea Forums and get back to writing the fucking books George. You already let the faggot jews at HBO ruin your story because you were too slow to finish it on time.
Ryan Murphy
Fuck bros, I miss when From was a humble little developer who's most popular game had YOU DEFEATED as poorly translated Engrish.
I don't want them to make an ambitious fuck-off huge game that's streamlined and soulless to appeal to western normans. Who cares about le difficulty. I want them to stay small and focused, regardless of how janky and quirky their games may be. Each game always has a modest but really personal touch.
Tell me in exactly what way Shadow of the Colossus' open world fail in serving as a desolate and empty forbidden land full of ruins you skulk around in to find the Colossi. It's not difficult to traverse, it's not riddled with pointless puzzles or collectibles unless you count the secret white tail lizards... it serves its role of setting the atmosphere for each fight perfectly well. So what's the problem? You're not judging it by the same metrics you'd judge a more exploration-heavy game like Morrowind, are you?
The best thing about Fat RR’s ramblings is that Tolkien wrote a direct answer to them before he was even born, stating that those post-mythical post-war concerns would just lead to a cheap thriller and wouldn’t be worth the time-investment to write, a realization that made him drop writing it less than a page in.
Connor Mitchell
Why is GRRM so hated here?
Aiden Myers
Instead of finishing Winds of Winter this is what he's doing? Also where the fuck is Armored Core?
Ryan Russell
>George RR Martin is one of the lead writers Yikes, I hope you this isn't true That fat fuck is such an awful writer
Jeremiah Moore
They said Deracine didn't count as one of those 3 games, as it was a ".5 game" or whatever.
David Morales
The VR game was not one of their three projects, it was in addition to them.
Eli Mitchell
Not too familiar with From, huh?
Nolan Cooper
He will never finish GoT he’s basically admitted it outright, he let the show eclipse it on purpose so he could pretend it stole his confidence and thunder but we all know in reality he did it just so he’d never have to bother. The show is all you get.
Grayson Thompson
DS3 is definitely not better in every way than DS1 lmao
Bentley Diaz
the VR game wasn't it. It's Sekiro, Armored Core and whatever mystery game
Isaac Richardson
Sekiro was the exception with over 2 years between Dark Souls 3 and the teaser to Sekiro. They must be working on something pretty big, considering the 3 year gap between DS3 and Sekiro.
I want this rumor to be half wrong and actually be Berserk. From can do it now that they've shown with Sekiro they can do combat without stamina shit
Kayden Collins
> from software > GRR Martin
I am calling this a HACK and slash.
Owen Miller
It's not that unrealistic. Hidetaka Miyazaki is known to be a big westaboo so it's plausible that he would reach GRRM to write for a game The idea that GRRM would accept is the unrealistic part
Cooper Lewis
>From on licensed stuff I'll pass
Ethan Lopez
I didn't say they suck you mong. But they could start sucking if they go big. That rule has remained true for literally every series on the planet.
Hunter Cruz
If he did we will never get the game.
Colton Harris
>berserk So basically dark souls... honestly I don’t know why people would want to play a berserk game. There’s only so much you can do because the story hasn’t finished
Lincoln Jackson
No, I’m judging it by the fact that you’re using it as a good example of open world. Does it fit the themes of SotC? Absolutely. Is it a good open world? Hell fucking no, because all you can do is ride around on your horse and play with lizards while looking at the scenery.
Eli Smith
and then the Dick Warrior took out his dick sword to slay the dick hydra to get his dick souls to go to the Dick Maiden tower up his dick dex so he can save Dickbrough
Jose Scott
I just think it's wrong to assume that an open world will only be well implemented if it has a lot of content sprinkled through it, because that necessitates that no open world can be good unless it is the main focus and draw of the game. I think the point I would make is that Shadow of the Colossus has a well-implemented open world, but the focus of the game is not in the world, which has very little, next to nothing going on in it, and nobody would play the game because of it. The focus of the game is squarely on the bosses, they are the main mechanic, they are the main appeal and focus of all the game's systems, and the open world is a tool to set up the various different locations you can find them. Think of it in these terms: Would you ever play an RPG for no other reason than because of its overworld map? No. Does that mean the overworld is badly implemented? Most likely also no. So, would you play SotC because of its open world? No. Does that mean its open world is badly implemented?
Badly implemented in the context it resides in? No.
Poor example of a good open world? Yes.

>She was sopping wet when he entered her. “Damn you,” she said. “Damn you damn you damn you.” He sucked her nipples till she cried out half in pain and half in pleasure. Her cunt became the world.
> Rain lashed at his face, blinding him. His mouth was full of blood again. The ship groaned and growled beneath him like a constipated fat man straining to shit.
>The three men were erect. The sight of their arousal was arousing
>He wondered how many lives had been snuffed out by that fart.
>Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water.
Shadow Of The Colossus' open world fits the theme and serves a purpose in the game, which makes it a good open world. Tell us how it's a bad example zoomer
Parker Lee
I suppose now all that's left is to route all the way to beginning and address whether or not Shadow of the Colossus, which has an open world that works in the specific context it is used for, is kino
